Only asking

This race to discover extraterrestrial life
the race to Mars and beyond

Space and time and the fool notion
that these are somehow abstracts

They are not !

Space is as real as a red rose
that takes time to live and die

So Hank Williams sings
I’ll never get out of this world alive

Given that mass is neither created
nor destroyed – where exactly is this OUT ?

And so to the next big question :
Does love exist on other planets ?
